Notes: Checklist Incomplete. There were four series of these cards issued. There are two sets
of cards identified as first series (1ste Reeks) - one set numbered (120 cards) and the other unnumbered.
For the numbered set, there appear to be two cards issued for each number. There is also a 2de Reeks set
of unnumbered cards and a 3de Reeks set of numbered cards (120 cards).

For the first series cards, it looks like there are 120 cards only, with different numbering often
found for the cards. I suspect these cards were printed similarly to the Peerless Weight Series C set.
It looks like the fronts were haphazardly matched with backs when they were printed, and since the
backs have a number on them, different fronts matched up with different backs at times. Probably
the best way to collect the first series cards would be just to try to get all 120 fronts regardless
of the number on the back. For master set collectors, it might take a long time to get all the number
combinations and more might pop up later as more cards are seen.

An album was issued with this set with the title of Le Film instead of De Film. In the album that
Amit Benyovits purchased, cards from the first series and second series were found mixed together.

Thanks to Piet Gooijaers for providing most of the names for these checklists and to Richard Minns and
Bernie Feldman for additional names. Thanks to Amit Benyovits for providing album pictures.
